An Elegy For Dr. Milton Abdul Thorlie Poem by AMADU KAMARA

On August thirtieth twenty sixteen, the
Angel of death called from heaven and told us that
The maker is asking for your return. Even
Though it was untimely to us, there is
Nothing we can do to reject his call.

Tears are the only farewell we can say to
You since you've left for a journey to
The land of no return and never told us
Goodbye but I know you're sharing our
Funs at your new home in heaven with the maker.

Your good memories has formed scars in our hearts
Especially when you left suddenly
After your doctorate degree's long journey.
It's said that one reap what one sow but
We're truly wrong with regards to you.

We shall always remember you in our
Prayers and always ask God to seek your
Vengeance and give retributive justice to
Those who deserve it because all your dreams
And aspirations have been buried with you.
